'The first France goal came off a Croatian’s head. The second was scored with the aid of the Argentine referee, and became the first video-assistant-reviewed goal in World Cup history.

But the next two — hard low shots by the young French stars Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappé — confirmed what everyone knew even before France polished off its 4-2 victory on Sunday: arFrance was the best team in the field this summer in Russia, and for that reason — a potent mix of greatness, grit and good fortune — they are world champions again.'

He was traveling with a French professor who was totally distracted during the France/Belgium game.

We can imagine how depressed he must have been to have to leave France to attend a scientific meeting in Kansas. C'est la vie.

Wall-to-wall coverage. Enormous crowds going nuts on the Champs. Some people on top of the Arc. Sun starting to set but crowds not going anywhere.
